Business Challenges
A leading B2B distributor headquartered in the US, generating annual revenue exceeding $6 billion, faced significant challenges due to high employee attrition rates. The reactive nature of their hiring process exacerbated the problem, with recruitment efforts initiated only after roles became vacant. This approach resulted in delays, operational bottlenecks, and an inability to proactively plan for future workforce requirements.
Additionally, the company relied heavily on manual methods for workforce planning, making the process slow and cumbersome. The lack of forecasting capabilities further compounded the issue, leading to skill gaps, extended onboarding times, increased costs, and inefficiencies in day-to-day operations.
